How well Discovery Meadow holds snow

Snow preservationAverage

Facing north at an average 6°, Discovery Meadow gets about 84% of the winter sun that flat ground at Crystal Mountain does, December through March. That's sunnier than 52% of the runs we've measured, and the 86th sunniest named run at Crystal Mountain. Its top sits at 4,560 feet.

It gets an ordinary dose of sun: powder lasts a typical amount of time, and spring snow softens on a normal schedule. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
